Purpose: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) may improve treatment quality by monitoring variations in patient anatomy and incorporating them into the treatment plan. This systematic review investigated the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in computed tomography (CT)-based ART for head and neck (H&N) cancer.
Methods: A comprehensive search of main electronic databases was conducted until April 2024.
Kruppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is an essential erythroid-specific transcription factor. Several reports have shown that gene mutations are associated with increased levels of Hb F and Hb A. However, scarce population studies have analysed common variations.

The aim of this study was to combine radiomic parameters extracted from F-choline PET/CT and clinical data to build machine learning (ML) models able to predict MDT efficacy.
Methods: Oligorecurrent patients (≤5 lesions) at F-choline PET/CT and treated with MDT were collected.

Purpose: In stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer, intrafraction motion is an important source of treatment uncertainty as it could not be completely smoothed through fractionation. Herein, we compared different arrangements and beam qualities for extreme hypofractionated treatments to minimize beam delivery time and so intrafractional errors.
Methods: A retrospective dataset of 11 patients was used.
